Coins Are Racist!

[Wazzzup]

Speedskater Shani Davis didn't attend the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Olympics after losing a coin flip to carry the U.S. flag and lead American athletes into the stadium.



Davis and luger Erin Hamlin tied 4-4 in voting by fellow athletes to carry the flag. Hamlin won the honor in a coin toss, a process the 35-year-old speedskater said was executed "dishonorably" in a post on his Twitter account.



His tweet included a hashtag mentioning Black History Month, which raised the question of whether the five-time Olympian was suggesting that race played a role in the decision. Davis is black, Hamlin is white.[/quote]

Of course that wasn't enough of a circus.  So the reverend Jesse Jackson, racebaiter extraordinaire, decided to weigh in.

Terrible sportsmanship.

Nobody likes to lose, but part of being an athlete is learning how to lose with grace.  Apparently he never learned that.

Thing is it he was one of two tied in a dead heat for the honour. So they both won but there's only one torch. They left it to chance after that. He should be more humble about that and Jesse needs to stfu altogether.

That's what sore losers do. If it were possible, I wouldn't let  him compete after that. Fucking crybaby.

So, if the asshole won it would have been honourable and Jackson would not have cried injustice.

[Angry White Male]

What you will find, all throughout history, is that the best and the brightest were never deterred by failure.  Failure was nothing more to them than an opportunity to learn to be better the next time.



This is a mindset that cannot easily be taught, but is moreso a personality trait.



Blacks think they are owed something.  The left think they are owed something.  The truth is, they will never be satisfied as long as they focus on their failures.  They can blame Whitey all they want.  The fact is, the best and the brightest don't even worry about failure, no matter what their race or gender is.

Shani Davis is a spoiled brat, that's all.

Another reason I take no interest in the Olympics.

In all fairness, the unsportsman like behaviour of Shani Davis is not typical of most Olympic athletes.

It looks like what happened to American football, the politicization of sports, something that should be apolitical.  if the olympics keeps going like this I won't be watching it.

Only American athletes think they have the right to impose their politics on an apolitical sporting event.

 It does seem that way doesn't it.  I think its shameful and embarassing that the left has so strongly divided America by race, gender, sexual orientation etc that this dirty laundry is coming up in a place and circumstance it has no business in.

I can't recall any athlete taking a political stand at a sports even in Canada either. Even when Harper was pm and he as hated by the left.
